El Pantalón Rosa
title El Pantalón Rosadescription Color lithograph on paper, 43.5 in. x 30.75 in. A man standing in front of a colored wood background. César A. Martínez states, "Originally, I had done a linoleum and woodblock print of El Pantalón Rosa. When I decided to do a lithograph of the same subject, I utilized the original woodblock with the wood texture by transferring the texture to a metal lithographic plate. Same for the shirt, but from another original plate. Everything else, in the different colors was drawn on metal lithographic plates, and then it was printed from the metal lithographic plates on a lithographic press. The date is 1992 and the printer was Peter Webber of Austin, Texas." César A. Martínez was born in Laredo Texas, in 1944, and currently lives in San Antonio, Texas. He was raised by his mother and her family in Laredo, because his father died when he was less than one year old. While studying art at Texas A&I College, and later Texas A&I University (renamed Texas A & M University, Kingsville), he became marginally involved in the Chicano Movement for civil rights. Eventually, he became an historical figure in the Chicano art movement. His colorful portraits represent real people from his life, many of them based on photographs. According to Martínez, “I’ve never really done art that I would say is political. But I think the kind of art that becomes politicized, as in my case and in many of my contemporaries, is simply because it had a Chicano perspective or Chicano imagery. The Chicano Movement was a renaissance in thinking about us and in creating those institutions and images and writings that reflected who we are. They were non-existent at that time, we had nothing to relate to, so we had to make it up as we went along. And that was the road to a deeper understanding of who we are."artist/creator Martinez, César A.subject Portraits Borderlands Frontera Cholos Clothing and dress Fashion Style Color lithographs Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
